Former Arsenal Star Keown Gives Judgement On Penalty Awarded To Everton Against Arsenal

Former Arsenal star, Martin Keown has given his verdict on the penalty awarded to Everton against the Gunners in the Premier League on Saturday.

Keown also questioned Myles Lewis-Skelly’s decision-making after the defender gave away a crucial penalty in Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Everton.

Leandro Trossard gave Mikel Arteta’s side the lead at Goodison Park.

But Everton equalized via penalty after Lewis-Skelly was adjudged to have fouled Everton’s Jack Harrison inside the box in the 49th minute.

Iliman Ndiaye then converted the penalty as both teams got a point each.

“Initially, Myles Lewis-Skelly doesn’t really get the flight of the ball and he’s trying to get his body in the way,” Keown said on TNT Sports.

“But I don’t believe there’s enough contact there for a penalty and it’s very soft. I’m not sure where the contact is.

“But there are occasions where you just have to go towards the ball.

“That will be one of those where he will look back and go, “Do you know what? Maybe I should have just tried to clear it”.

“But I’m not sure he’s really made the foul there, but once the referee gives it, I don’t think VAR is going against it.”
